Part 2002 prescribed the general guidelines for the systematic declassification review of classified foreign government information that was either received or classified by the United States Government or its agents, and incorporated into records determined by the Archivist of the United States to have permanent value. E.O. 12958, as amended, and its implementing regulation, 32 CFR parts 2001 and 2004 (ISOO Directive No. 1), provide for the declassification of classified foreign government information. As national security classified information, classified foreign government information is subject to automatic VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:07 Sep 06, 2006 Jkt 208001 declassification after 25 years unless specifically exempted. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), good cause exists for waiving the requirements of notice and opportunity for comment on the withdrawal of 32 CFR part 2002. Following the issuance of Executive Order 12958, as amended, these sections became obsolete. Therefore, because the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) has no authority to retain these sections, the process of notice and comment would be unproductive and is unnecessary. Additionally, it is in the public interest to remove an obsolete regulation. This rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and has not been submitted for Office of Management and Budget review under that order.

General Guidelines for Systematic Declassification Review of 
Foreign Government Information; Removal of Part

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is 
removing Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) regulations on 
the general guidelines for systematic declassification review of 
foreign government information. Following the issuance of Executive 
Order 12958 (Classified National Security Information) on April 17, 
1995, and its amendment on March 25, 2003, the General Guidelines for 
Systematic Declassification Review of Foreign Government Information, 
became obsolete. The final rule will affect Federal agencies.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective September 7, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. William Leonard, Director, ISOO, at 
202-357-5400.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The authority citation for part 2002 is no 
longer valid with the revocation of E.O. 12356 following the issuance 
of E.O. 12958, as amended. Part 2002 prescribed the general guidelines 
for the systematic declassification review of classified foreign 
government information that was either received or classified by the 
United States Government or its agents, and incorporated into records 
determined by the Archivist of the United States to have permanent 
value. E.O. 12958, as amended, and its implementing regulation, 32 CFR 
parts 2001 and 2004 (ISOO Directive No. 1), provide for the 
declassification of classified foreign government information. As 
national security classified information, classified foreign government 
information is subject to automatic declassification after 25 years 
unless specifically exempted.
    Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), good cause exists for 
waiving the requirements of notice and opportunity for comment on the 
withdrawal of 32 CFR part 2002. Following the issuance of Executive 
Order 12958, as amended, these sections became obsolete. Therefore, 
because the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) has no 
authority to retain these sections, the process of notice and comment 
would be unproductive and is unnecessary. Additionally, it is in the 
public interest to remove an obsolete regulation.
    This rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes 
of Executive Order 12866 and has not been submitted for Office of 
Management and Budget review under that order. As required by the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that this rule will not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because 
this rule applies to Federal agencies. This regulation does not have 
any federalism implications.
